The gene that is mutated in cases of cystic fibrosis encodes an ion transporter protein normally expressed in the respiratory and digestive tracts along with other locations. Individuals homozygous for the most common mutation in this gene (ΔF508) died at very early ages prior to the advent of advanced medical intervention. Despite this, the mutation exists at relatively high frequency in populations of European descent. One potential explanation is that heterozygotes for such mutations may be relatively immune to the lethal effects of diseases such as typhoid fever. Which statement below is most accurate?

Use the following information to answer the question. In order to test how sea urchin sperm bind to eggs, scientists isolated the egg receptor protein
that binds to the sperm acrosomal protein called bindin. Plastic beads were coated with egg receptor for bindin (ERB1) from eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and then the beads mixed with sperm from S. purpuratus or from the related species, S. franciscanus. The researchers counted how many sperm were bound to each bead. The results are shown in the graph below. Treatments:
A: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads
B: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein
C: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads
D: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein
Based on the data in the graph, which of the following conclusions is supported?
